Oil for 1275 ribbed case tranny???

Hi All,

I am just getting ready to install a rebuild 1275 ribbed case tranny into my Sprite. Quantum Mechanics suggest using 90-wt hypoid transmission gear oil. I think I have also seen 30-wt or 40-wt non-detergent motor oil recommended.

Does anyone have any suggestions or firsthand experiences to share?

Re: Oil for 1275 rib-cage tranny???

THE "book" says to use the same thing you have in your crankcase, and what goes into your crankcase is dependent upon ambient temperature. 10-40 in the cold, 20-50 in the warm.
